Setup guide

2 Enter your user name and password. The defaults are admin / admin. The Summary page appears.
3 Click Ports in the menu at the top. The Ports page appears, displaying an overview of the switch.
Connected ports are displayed in green.
4 Click a port to view information and statistics on it. If you have ports with DDR connections that
appear to be running at SDR speed (2.5 Gbps instead of 5 Gbps), unplug the cable and then plug it
back in. The connection should run at normal DDR speed afterwards. This issue occurs because of a
bug in the switch firmware.
Viewing Port Statistics for an InfiniCon InfinIO 9024 Switch
The InfinIO 9024 InfiniBand switch is the recommended switch model for DDR InfiniBand networks. The
InfinIO switch comes with a Web-based application, the InfiniView Device Manager, that you can use to
configure, monitor, and manage the InfiniBand network. When you suspect that performance is not optimal
on your QDR switch, it is a good idea to view statistics for each connected port, to determine if they are
running normally. The nominal speed for DDR InfiniBand connections is 5 Gbps. To access the Device
Manager, your browser must be on the same subnet as the InfiniBand switch, which has a default IP address
of 10.10.10.252.
To view switch port statistics:
1 Open a Web browser and enter the IP address of the InfiniBand switch, usually 10.10.10.252. The main
page of the Device Manager appears.
2 Click Port Stats in the menu on the left. The IB Port Statistics page appears. The page displays the status
of each port on the switch.
3 Optional: Click Refresh to update the data on the page.
Supported ingest file formats
An image sequence is a series of sequentially numbered files, traditionally the result of scanning film stock
at high resolution to produce a digital intermediate. Each file contains the digital scan of an individual
frame. Common formats include Cineon, DPX and Tiff. The file type is usually indicated by its extension.
In contrast, container formats, also called “wrapper” formats, can contain image sequences (commonly
called streams or essences) and audio, compressed using a variety of compression algorithms (codecs) into
a single file. Container formats do not impose specific video or audio codecs upon the media they contain.
Rather, a container format defines only how the video, audio and other data is stored within the container
itself. Unlike image sequences, it is not possible to tell by looking at the extension what kind of video or
audio is inside a container format.
See the documentation of your application for a list of supported formats.
Installing and Configuring Lustre ShotReactor
Lustre ShotReactor renders modified frames when the artist moves to the next shot on the timeline on the
Creative workstation. With ShotReactor, playback is enabled without interrupting your work during creative
sessions.
ShotReactor is installed on your workstation by default when you install Lustre. You must, however, have
a valid ShotReactor license on the creative workstation or on the license server, for the ShotReactor service
to be available.
